History
Eren Yeager was born to Grisha Yeager and Carla Yeager in the Shiganshina District within Wall Maria.
He used to live with Mikasa Ackerman as his adopted sister. They are always seen together with Armin Arlert, their childhood friend.
Eren was close to his parents and Mikasa.
When Eren was very young, he saved Mikasa, who was kidnapped, and killed the kidnappers along with Mikasa.
Since then, Mikasa has been staying with the Yeager family.
Armin, Mikasa, and Eren have been close since childhood and as a child, he always dreamed of joining the Survey Corps.
They joined the military and Scout Regiments together. He joins the Scout Regiment early on, mainly because of his unexpected discovery as a Titan.
Levi Ackerman takes Eren under his wing. As the series Attack on Titan progresses, many events unfold that explains how and why he turned into a Titan.
Why did Eren turn evil?
Eren started to show his dark side and hatred for the titans significantly after the colossal Titan broke into Shiganshina, which gave paths for the titan to come inside the walls.
This is when they ate many people including Eren’s mother.
Even though Eren and Mikasa tried saving her, they begged them to let her go so that she would be able to protect them.
This can be said to be the main reason behind him turning to evil.
Similarly when he got to know about Carla’s death, the most pain Eren suffered in the manga series was here.
Seeing your friend die is surely the worst feeling.
Also it is seen that some of his friends he had for years in 104th cadet corps were killed when the titans invaded the Trost.
Also, he wanted to know what was in the basement of his childhood home.
But when he got to know about the same he was shocked and wasn't very happy with the answer.
He used to think that Titans were Eldian’s biggest enemy but this wasn’t true.
There were many people outside the Eldians who hated them and wanted to turn them to titans.
This led Eren to think about killing everyone outside of Paradis.
